People who are experiencing homelessness are at a particularly high risk of alcohol use and associated harms, including experience of extreme social inequalities.

Title: Building a Movement: Community Development and Community Resilience in Response to Extreme Events
Author(s): Engstrom, Sandra; Docherty, Paul J; Robertson, Tony
Abstract: There are gaps in understanding what community resilience is and means to those working in communities, academia, practice and policy and how it is currently enacted in Scotland. Greater understanding of existing experiences can be used to encourage development of community resilience. By enhancing resilience, those affected by extreme events are better able to cope; communities are given a voice; and risk and vulnerability on local, national and global scales are reduced.2019-12-01T00:00:00Z
